Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment[edit]

To do list[edit]

These are improvements that could be made if anyone has time:

Provide more information (discussion, progress) for each indicator. Scour all the links on the HLPF website.
Add some more maps (from SDG Tracker website / Wikimedia Commons) and images (Wikimedia Commons)
Improve the flow of text in the background section because some of it reads like just a collection of facts but without good prose and flow.
Improve lead to make it a better summary of the article
Find any other good progress reports for SDG 8, find out who the custodians for the different targets are (if they exist)
Find more progress information for some of the indicators which so far don't have progress information provided.
Add more wikilinks to other articles in Wikipedia and vice versa.
Find Wikipedia articles that explain some of the key concepts that are used in the SDG 8 article, for example I could not find anything for Aid for Trade yet (edit: has now been created). Material footprint could be another one. We should not have to created new articles - often times they exist but just under different names. EMsmile (talk) 07:41, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Some work completed[edit]

I just expanded the background, added wikilinks, made the sentences simple to laypersons.Olabideen (talk)

Recently, I simplified some of the words, increase the number wikilinks, also added content to the Target, Indicators and Progress with additional organisation.Olabideen (talk)

Added more Maps from SDGs Website. Olabideen (talk)

I added the custodian agencies for each of the indicators.James Moore200 (talk)
